Culvert replacement allows for the installation of newer, larger, or more efficient culverts, leading to improved water flow and drainage. This can help prevent flooding, reduces the risk of road or property damage, and ensures the efficient conveyance of water.

​

Modern culverts can be designed to improve aquatic organism passage, allowing for better fish migration and overall ecosystem health. Additionally, properly functioning culverts can prevent erosion and sediment buildup, preserving water quality and habitat integrity.
